International Stocks
What is International Trading?
Our International Trading service lets you trade online directly on 17 international exchanges in 12 different countries. You can hold cash in 7 major currencies and we also offer real time foreign exchange facilities.
How does International Trading work?
Trading in stocks on international markets with TD Waterhouse uses the same simple process as trading in Irish stocks. When placing a trade using our 'Place an Order' Page in the secure part of our website you would choose which market to invest from and you will be taken through all the relevant options on that page in order to place your trade.
